This is a useful (if lesser-known) feature of at least a few popular X11
window managers, for example Openbox and XFWM4. Typically right-click on
the maximize button toggles horizontal maximize, while middle-click
toggles vertical maximize.
Support in labwc uses the same configuration syntax as Openbox, where the
Maximize/ToggleMaximize actions have an optional "direction" argument:
horizontal, vertical, or both (default). The default mouse bindings match
the XFWM4 defaults (not sure what Openbox has by default).
Most of the external protocols still assume "maximized" is a Boolean,
which is no longer true internally. For the sake of the outside world,
a view is only "maximized" if maximized in both directions.
Internally, I've taken the following approach:
- SSD code decorates the view as "maximized" (i.e. hiding borders) only
if maximized in both directions.
- Layout code (interactive move/resize, tiling, etc.) generally treats
the view as "maximized" (with the restrictions that entails) if
maximized in either direction. For example, moving a vertically-
maximized view first restores the natural geometry (this differs from
Openbox, which instead allows the view to move only horizontally.)
v2: use enum view_axis for view->maximized
v3:
- update docs
- allow resizing if partly maximized
- add TODOs & corrections noted by Consolatis
...<command> argument (but still resolve tilde).
This makes it easier to write sh -c '' constructs without turning labwc
into a shell parser in order to expand environment variables, whilst
respecting single quotes and escaped characters as well as ignoring
subshells syntax like $(foo) and backticks.
Also, fix bug where buffer length+alloc get out-of-sync
With the new keepBorder option enabled, the
ToggleDecorations action now has 3 states:
- the first time only disables the titlebar
- the second time disables the whole SSD
- the third time enables the whole SSD again
When the keepBorder action is disabled, the old 2-state
behavior is restored, e.g. the ToggleDecorations action
only toggles between on and off.
Fixes#813
Between, output, rounded and focused.
Added one inconsistently missing trailing period.
Inserted newline before last word in one line in
labwc-actions.5.scd in order to keep that line from
passing 80-column boundary.
Make wrap 'true' by default for both GoToDesktop and SendToDesktop,
in order to default to the current behaviour, and to stay consistent
with Openbox behaviour.
This can be used to better control Virtual Machines, VNC clients, nested
compositors or similar. All keybinds other than ToggleKeybinds itself are
disabled when first called, a 2nd call will restore handling of all keybinds.
Fixes#738Fixes#810
Actions GoToDesktop and SendToDesktop now support the new direction
called "last" that corresponds to the last used workspace (see Openbox
help[1] for reference).
